Had I known...

What can I do to tell you I'm sorry?

If I could hold you again...I would.

But there are too many things that could happen...

And I'm unable to love you like I should.



Had I known it would have been our last kiss...

Maybe I would've kissed you a little deeper.

Had I known it would have been our last embrace...

Maybe I would have just kept you here.



That's all I wanted.

To skip to the future.

Five years from now.

You are a keeper.



But love won't allow me

To keep you locked up

Chained to my heart

Water in a cup



Unable to escape

the inevitable cage

I'm keeping you in

In a book, on a page



In my mind

In my hand

round my head

like a band



in my eyes

like the sun

unable to escape

the light of one



so terribly

wonderful

perfect

beautiful



gentle

amazing

unlike me

just gazing



watching you

from afar

you have no idea

how beautiful you are



how hard it was

to let you go

I had the courage

I thought I'd never know



It hurt me too

please hear me out

don't turn away

or start to shout



I did what's right

afraid to lose

what I knew that I

could never choose



I feared our love

would surely fade

and that once I left

our hearts would change



later on

we wouldn't know

who to choose

which emotion to show



I wouldn't know you

you wouldn't know me

that's the way things go

unfortunately



I wish you had been there

inside of my heart

as I told you those things

I fell apart



I'm glad I know you

you're such a wonderful person

and there's something I can't deny

Just one thing...just one...



...I still love you.
